First came People's Republic, then Indian CountryNow, Kelly Turnbull returns, locked and loaded, in Wildfire.Blue America teeters on the edge of chaos and collapse, but that's not ex-operator Kelly Turnbull's problem anymore - until he is called out of retirement for a crucial job in Siberia that turns out to be a deadly trap. Now Turnbull must go deep undercover inside the crumbling People's Republic's secret police force to stop a jihadi threat that could kill millions in both red and blue America. Working alongside his sworn enemy, he has to put his trust where he always has - in his instincts and his .45 automatic as his bloody campaign of revenge takes him from Mexico City to Germany to the bowels of the urban jungle of the abandoned Pentagon where, MAC-10 in hand, Turnbull faces his deadliest enemy.
I enjoyed this one but not nearly as much as the previous two installments. However, the possibilities of an enemy operative using a terminal plague to eradicate the US would be a very real possibility especially with all the gain of function research and bio-weapon research today. Even though the use of biological weapons is strictly forbidden under international law, we all know they are being used and covered as "Oops, this was an accidental leak - sorry about that" type thing. And, as usual, the People's Republic beliefs are entirely over the top and incomprehensible to me as they are most definitely taken to the extreme and I don't think anyone truly believes them all. After the intensity of this one, I think I will take a break before venturing on to the next Kelly Turnball in the series. I fully intend to read them all as Kurt Schlichter is a favorite author of mine.
